Alex Verdugo, the Dodgers right fielder, waved his glove in the air and the Phillies players stormed from the dugout. Finally, a 7-4 win over the Dodgers was over.
It took 16 innings, but Trevor Plouffe’s walk-off homer off position player Enrique Hernandez ended the Phillies’ 100th game of the season. Verdugo had no chance and the Phillies waited to mob Plouffe. The game ended less than 12 hours before the start of Game No. 101, which the Phillies will begin with a one-game lead atop the National League East.
Jorge Alfaro tied the game in the seventh with a mammoth two-out, two-run homer that crashed into visiting bullpen.
